This is awesome news but I thought this news was already from a few months ago.

Controlling linguistical semantics is a very strong weapon in propaganda and fascism.

Hitler and other Nazis used the slogan “Deutschland über alles” (“Germany above all”) and also decided what it meant.

Keep the peasant happy and they will not revolt.

I dropped the show because of too much singing. The songs were great but it really dislike that kind of stuff.

Weremoons.

Too old? I don’t know this term.

Have you already send your mother a message today?

I once walked into a small store to buy cigarettes. The guy at the counter was counting €20 bills. I asked for some cigarettes (€5) and paid with €10. When he gave me my €5 change I was confused because I thought I gave €20. I told him I gave €20 and he looked at me, thought for a moment, and then gave me the €10 and said sorry. I went home, took out the €15 and only then realized what happened.

Our minds are feeble little things.

And here I thought he would put his head out the door when he said “I’ll check the weather”.

That’s how I do it.

That’s a great take. It’s not black and white.

Thanks for asking, although it felt like it was sort of out of left field =P!

I don’t know this expression but it was a joke based off the OP yes.

Meanwhile in the Netherlands:

There are no reports of Israel or Russia using ArduPilot though.

What’s your take on boundaries?

Why do people attribute decisions like that to the competence of the programmers?

Because supporting multiple platforms, especially in gaming, isn’t magic or rocket science and almost always comes down to the setup of the toolchain.

This is a business decision

Very possible. But I go by their actual statement: “maintaining the native build across many distros was taking time away from developing new content”. My point is regarding the “maintaining […] across many distros” and not the “taking time away”. A good toolchain would make these differences extremely minimal.

hundreds or thousands of hours logged for tasks related to supporting Linux

Extremely unlikely. That would mean more than 10 developers working fulltime purely on Linux support since the release of the game. According to their team page on their website they have 7 developers in total.

every build going out to tens of thousands of active players needs to be tested

This is why experienced developers decouple the game from the platform specific stuff and test them separately.

The game is made in Unity so most of the platform specific stuff should already be production ready. Unity literally markets their engine as “Industry-leading multiplatform support” with the motto “Create once, ship anywhere”.

So my argument still stands. And as I said, it’s not a bad thing. The only thing I dislike is the indirect implication of Linux being a hassle when it would be nicer if they would take more responsibility for it.

The fix is to chmod it all to 777.

As a cross platform developer I consider this incompetence.

That’s not necessary a bad thing. The world is full of less experienced programmers. But they’re making it look like it’s a hassle to release for Linux when in reality you can foresee and plan for this from the start, without much overhead down the line.

I’m sure this is an /s but Europe also has decent sick day rules.
